    Black women have always worked in this country. That has never been enough to protect them. The jobs they're concentrated in are either hit hard by pandemic restrictions or are high exposure jobs that always underpaid. 1/2

    Very overwhelmed by all the kind words 😊. And also realizing that my fleeting reference in my original tweet to Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance may have been too deep of a cut 😂

    I like this headline bc the answer is a simple, yes. Next question! We’ve tried incrementalism & we’ve gotten - to Claudia’s point - a climate crisis, structural inequities by race and gender, and inequality that’s made us economically worse off. Go big or go home, as they say.

    "But the entire $3.5 trillion package is too big and too risky. The wiser course is to take more incremental steps rather than to try to remake the economy in one fell swoop." hmmm. existential risk of more climate change disasters is a bigger risk.

    Absolutely incredible: Census says poverty rate **fell** in 2020 ***during one of the worst labor market shocks in US history***, due to the combo of stimulus checks/federal relief that reached millions both in and outside the workforce. Reflects limits of jobs to reduce poverty.

    3. The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) extends the official poverty measure to include the value of noncash benefits, stimulus payments, taxes, and other necessary expenses. The SPM rate in 2020 was 9.1 percent. This was 2.6 percentage points lower than 2019.
